FRESH APPLE PIE



Fresh Apple Pie image

There's nothing better than the smell of the fresh apple pie baking in the oven. It signifies the start of cozy fall days, and it's the ultimate dessert to kick off the season. This recipe uses Betty's pie crust mix so you can skip chilling your pastry dough and get right to the baking part-meaning less time waiting around for pie and more time eating it! Apple pie is best served warm with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.

APPLE FILLING FOR PIES



Apple Filling for Pies image

After just making this again I think some may find the filling too thick so I am changing the instructions to say 2-4 tablespoons of cornstarch. We like our apples diced so it takes 3-4 large apples to achieve 4 cups. I also used the micro.this time stirring every couple minutes. No chance of burning on the bottom that way.

APPLE PIE FILLING



Apple Pie Filling image

Many apple pies call for simply tossing cut apples with sugar, adding a thickening agent and some spices, and plopping it all into a crust. But precooking the apples has multiple advantages: First, it draws out some of their juices, to ensure consistency. (No undercooked apples or runny filling here!) And, second, it prevents the filling from sinking away from the crust as it cools, leaving a pocket of air between filling and crust. Use this all-purpose filling in a traditional pie, tiny hand-held pies, or in a cobbler. It can be made several days ahead, leaving just assembling and baking.

Categories     pies and tarts, dessert

Time 15m

Yield 6 cups (enough for 1 9-inch pie)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 tablespoons/55 grams unsalted butter (1/2 stick)
6 to 8 medium apples, such as Honeycrisp, Granny Smith or Gala, peeled, cored and cut into 1/2-inch dice (about 6 1/2 cups/1 kilogram)
2 tablespoons lemon juice (from 1 lemon)
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup/220 grams light or dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 cup/100 grams granulated sugar
1/3 cup/45 grams all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • In a medium pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add apples, tossing to coat in the butter. Add lemon juice, vanilla, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and salt and stir to combine. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the apples start to soften, 5 to 6 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together granulated sugar and flour. Add to the pot and stir well to combine. Stir constantly until the mixture thickens, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Let the filling cool completely before using. (You can speed this process up by spreading it into an even layer on a baking sheet.) The filling will keep, refrigerated, for up to 3 days.

1 tablespoon sugar
1 scoop vanilla ice cream

Steps:

  • In a medium-sized bowl, add the flour and salt. Mix with fork until combined.
  • Add in cubed butter and break up into flour with a fork. Mixture will still have lumps about the size of small peas.
  • Gradually add the ice water and continue to mix until the dough starts to come together. You may not need all of the water, but if the dough is too dry then add more. The dough should not be very tacky or sticky.
  • Work the dough together with your hands and turn out onto a surface. Work into a ball and cover with cling wrap. Refrigerate.
  • Peel the apples, then core and slice.

  • Mix until combined and all apples are coated. Refrigerate.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (200°C).
  • On a floured surface, cut the pie dough in half and roll out both halves until round and about ⅛-inch (3 mm) thick.
  • Roll the dough around the rolling pin and unroll onto a pie dish making sure the dough reaches all edges. Trim extra if necessary.
  • Pour in apple filling mixture and pat down.
  • Roll the other half of the dough on top.
  • Trim the extra dough from the edges and pinch the edges to create a crimp. Make sure edges are sealed together.
  • Brush the pie with the beaten egg and sprinkle with the sugar.
  • Cut four slits in the top of the pie to create a vent.
  • Bake pie for 50-60 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and no greyish or undercooked pastry remains.

Yield Makes 5 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
6 tablespoons packed light-brown sugar
10 Granny Smith apples, cored, peeled, and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Juice of half a lemon

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons butter and 3 tablespoons brown sugar in a large skillet over high heat. When butter is melted and bubbling, add half the apples. Sprinkle apples with 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon. Cook, stirring occasionally, until apples are soft and slightly golden, about 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl.
  • Heat remaining 2 tablespoons butter and 3 tablespoons sugar in skillet. Add remaining apples and cinnamon. Cook according to step 1. Transfer cooked apples to same large bowl. Stir in lemon juice. Cool completely before using for cookies.

Tips for Making the Best Apple Pie Filling:

  • Choose the right apples: Use a combination of tart and sweet apples for the best flavor. Some good options include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, Braeburn, and Pink Lady.
  • Peel and core the apples thinly: This will help the apples cook evenly and prevent them from becoming mushy.
  • Slice the apples evenly: This will also help them cook evenly.
  • Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will make it easier to peel, core, and slice the apples.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the apples, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the apples until they are tender: But not mushy. This will take about 15-20 minutes.
  • Add sugar and spices to taste: Once the apples are cooked, add sugar and spices to taste. Common spices used in apple pie filling include cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
  • Let the filling cool before using: This will help the filling set and prevent it from being too runny.

Conclusion:

With these tips in mind, you can make a delicious apple pie filling that will be the star of your next pie. Whether you're using it in a classic apple pie, an apple crumble, or an apple tart, this filling is sure to please everyone at the table.
